Ever since we had baptisms at church a few weeks ago, Mr. Mister has been "bathtizing" everything - himself in a rain puddle, his carrots in ranch dressing, and the bottle of handsoap in the bathroom sink. It's funny...he does it just like he saw it done at church. He puts his head real close to the object like he's praying, then dunks it back under water and picks it back up. Then he instructs everyone to cheer.
I love it. We have explained to him that baptism is something you do when you are ready to publicly declare your decision to follow Jesus. I think he gets that as much as a three year can. It is fun to watch him delight in something that should be delighted in, even if it's with a carrot or a bottle of soap for now. Hopefully someday he'll make that decision for real and hopefully it's somewhere other than in a rain puddle!
